Cech has been criticised for his ability with the ball at his feet as Emery tries to introduce a policy of playing the ball out from the back, but Leno was still forced to wait for his debut until Thursday's Europa League game against Vorskla .

“I came to the club to play every game,” Leno told the Evening Standard after that 4-2 win.

“But I think to move to a bigger club, another country, it needs maybe a little bit of time. It is a bit frustrating but I keep calm and work very hard to improve.

"The coach always makes the starting XI because of the performance. I think it could change, not every week, but he will change a lot.

"He didn’t say the league is Petr’s competition and the Europa League is mine. I will work every day hard to play more games.

“I came for the Premier League. I think it is the best. The Bundesliga is good but the Premier League is better, so I will look forward to playing any time in the Premier League."

Leno added that he feels he's the perfect fit for Emery's policy of playing out from the back, and displayed that against Vorskla.

“The game that the coach wants is my style," he said.

"I think I did a good job with the ball, with the passing. Of course, the two goals were disappointing, but they scored great goals. Maybe I need a little bit of time.

“It is a little bit more of a risk to play this way because we don’t want to kick the ball up front. We want to play because we have the players to play from the back to have more space in the opposite 18-yard box. "
